This report relates to 1 case(s)

The Supreme Court has restored the employment tribunal decision that a minister of religion was not an employee and could not therefore claim unfair dismissal.

In President of the Methodist Conference v Preston [2013]
IRLR 646 SC, the Supreme Court held that a Methodist minister did not have a
contract with the church and accordingly could not pursue an unfair dismissal
claim, because she was not an employee.
